I love this society…it is one of the friendliest groups of people I have worked with over the last 20 years, and I am delighted to be part of the leadership of this group.RRS membership cares about nurturing young investigators, uses meetings to introduce new-comers to others, and works hard to stay innovative and cutting edge in their approach.It is a real honor for me to work with this group!

VICE PRESIDENT

Martin Hauer-Jensen, MD, PhD | Wichita, KS

In recent years, the influx of new scientists has lagged behind the attrition of Society members... the current surge of interest in research directed toward medical countermeasures against radiation offers unprecedented opportunities for reversing this trend. As a result, radiation research has attained increased visibility and vigor as a critically important and unique field. Taking advantage of this development will not only benefit those scientists who engage actively in countermeasures research, but will benefit the entire radiation research
community by expanding training programs, enhancing research infrastructure, and providing additional funding and faculty positions. I intend to maximally promote opportunities associated with the resurgence of interest in radiation science to the advantage of the RRS.

VICE PRESIDENT-ELECT

Charles Limoli | Santa Fe, NM

The RRS has been my professional home for my entire career.The membership represents my primary peer group in radiation sciences, and remains the largest body of top-level US scientists interested in radiation effects at all levels.The society is a relatively small, close-knit group of experts who have and will continue to lead scientific advancement in the field. I consider myself fortunate to have been associated with the RRS for nearly 20 years now, and continue to benefit from the collective expertise and advise from the membership.As the newly elected VP, I look forward to giving back to the Society and hope my efforts will continue to support the intellectual activities of the Society for many years to come.Over the years the annual RRS meeting has provided an important platform for presenting my work, and has been the place where I have met many of my current colleagues and friends.Many of my long-lasting relationships were the direct result of interactions I have had through RRS sponsored events, and the RRS has and continues to be the cornerstone of my scientific activities.

SECRETARY/TREASURER

Eleanor Blakely, PhD | Charlotte, NC

I have been a member of the Radiation Research Society since 1970 when I joined as a Graduate Student. Attending the annual meetings and interacting with radiation research professionals for the last 43 years has broadened my learning and understanding of the field. I greatly value the students and colleagues I have come to know.
